Since that's the case, then we'll have no choice but to meet him in person.

"Have you forgotten my ability again? Of course, it's to communicate with all the plants in this world."

Don't worry, I won't be gone for long. I'll be back as soon as I find the truth.

Jiang Liu couldn't stop Tang Yu from doing what she wanted to do, especially since this matter was of utmost importance.

Despite his reluctance, Jiang Liu could only smile and hug the other person.

"Okay, I'll stay in Kyoto and wait for you."

Chapter 25 Mary Sue and the Overbearing Protagonist 5

The next day, Tang Yu left directly.

Before leaving, Tang Yu gave Jiang Liu some things to save his life.

After all, Kyoto is so dangerous, and she doesn't know how long she'll be gone, so she has to protect her boyfriend.

During Tang Yu's absence, Jiang Liu's life began to be filled with ups and downs and struggles.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu, guided by a group of plant information, had already headed towards the icy and snowy land to the north.

There are almost no plants around, so where exactly is the temple? The plants of this world don't know; all they can be sure of is that it's in this icy wasteland.

No wonder ordinary people in this world can't access the temple. Who can survive in such a frozen wasteland?

However, Tang Yu is not a normal person. She can go without eating or drinking and can even conjure up peaches to eat.

So Tang Yu swaggered around in the snow and ice, but couldn't find a place anywhere; it was all ice fields.

I don't know how many days have passed; at least in this icy and snowy land, normal people can't feel the passage of time at all.

Just when Tang Yu was wondering if she could find it, Xiao Qi in her mind suddenly spoke.

"Yu Yu, follow my direction. I sense a familiar presence. There are others like me in this world!"

"what?"

Tang Yu was very surprised. Xiao Qi, the system, and she, the worker, were actually not serious about their work and were always slacking off.

Anyway, a world can last for many years, and if you can collect a hundred kinds of plants, you can be done with it, so why be so serious?

So Xiao Qi usually doesn't even talk, unless she encounters a very exciting plant that she notices nearby, which is why she insists that Tang Yu go and collect it.

Xiaoqi had no interest in talking to ordinary plants.

But this time, Xiaoqi excitedly spoke up, saying that it was one of its kind.

The system is a high-tech intelligent system. What does "same kind" mean? Tang Yu felt that he had guessed some of the truth.

Therefore, under Xiao Qi's guidance, Tang Yu finally arrived at the site of a sacred temple left by a previous civilization, which was actually a military weapons warehouse.

Then, Tang Yu finally learned the truth about this world.

"Xiao Qi, collect its data. Let's change it. No wonder this world is so discordant!"

Damn it, they're actually interfering with the normal development of the world.

Xiao Qi was able to take Tang Yu to different worlds, so its level was naturally higher, and it quickly fulfilled Tang Yu's request.

Then, Tang Yu rushed back to Kyoto as quickly as possible.

Jiang Liu has been in a lot of trouble lately.

The Crown Prince, the Eldest Princess, the Second Prince, the Inspectorate, and the Emperor—they all tested and toyed with him.

He was even nearly assassinated once, but fortunately, the medicine left by Tang Yu saved his and Zhao Zijing's lives.

So when Tang Yu returned, Jiang Liu was very excited, and his heart was at ease.

"Ayu, I miss you so much."

"I saw the temple and learned what kind of place it was..."

Jiang Liu's curiosity was instantly piqued; he was eager to know the truth about this world.

When Tang Yu revealed that the so-called sacred temple was a relic left by the previous civilization, essentially a military weapons depot, and even contained intelligent robots, Jiang Liu was stunned.

"So the Holy Temple has been sending messengers out to spread civilization and protect humanity?"

"That was once the case."

Jiang Liu couldn't understand what these words meant.

"Now they've switched to harming humans?"

"That has to start with why the previous civilization went extinct; it's a very complicated story."

Jiang Liu finally understood why true qi could be cultivated in this world: it was because of the nuclear radiation left over from the nuclear war, and that humans had such a strong ability to adapt.

However, none of this news was enough to shock Jiang Liu, until Tang Yu said that the Holy Temple judged that an overly advanced civilization would lead humanity to destruction.

So when the Holy Temple stopped the development of technology in this world, Jiang Liu was stunned.

"So...so my mother..."

Jiang Liu barely dared to voice his guess, but Tang Yu nodded affirmatively and revealed the identity of Uncle Liu Ye.

"Lin Zhu didn't accept this theory; she wanted to change the world, but unfortunately, she chose the wrong person... The Emperor, in league with the people of the Holy Temple, killed her, and Uncle Liu Ye was a robot from the Holy Temple..."

Jiang Liu remained in a daze all night, feeling lost and helpless.

Suddenly learning the truth about this world, the truth about Lin Zhu's death, he felt that this world was both laughable and pathetic.

The irony of the world left him momentarily at a loss as to how to continue living.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Liu was still sitting on the steps, his voice hoarse and his eyes vacant.

"I find it really ridiculous. The Emperor of Xia killed my mother, and now he wants to use me to take over my mother's property and make his two sons fight to the death. Is he crazy?"

Do you think I should take revenge and kill him? Or should I enter this game now and let them experience what it's like to be a pawn out of control?

Feeling deceived and manipulated, Jiang Liu couldn't hide his resentment.

Tang Yu held Jiang Liu's cold hand and resolutely rejected his idea.

Why should I be a pawn?

You think you can win by becoming a pawn? Jiang Liu, you've made a fatal mistake!

Jiang Liu's past life experiences were insufficient for him to understand the truth of political struggles.

Political struggles are sometimes not about subtlety, but rather about straightforward brutality: whoever is stronger gets to listen.

"Jiang Liu, the Xia Kingdom emperor's way of playing is to indiscriminately kill innocent people and disregard the rules. He can also make new rules at any time."

Therefore, don't enter their game and play by their rules; once a piece gets involved, you'll be played to death.

Let's flip the table and play in a different way.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu asked in a deep voice.

Why did you flip the table?

"Rebellion, simple and brutal!"

The dynastic cycle means that a new dynasty must rise every few hundred years. The Xia Dynasty suffered from severe land annexation, its officials were extremely corrupt, and the people were living in misery.

"If we kill off more than half of this privileged class, the world will be at peace!"

Jiang Liu was shocked!

Then, what he was thinking about was whether the success rate was high or not.

Rather than whether this matter is outrageous or not?

As expected, he was born rebellious; this world is truly unbearable.

"Given Xia's current strength, with its money and troops, it wouldn't be too easy for them to rebel, right? Besides, Xia is about to go to war with Song, so its foundation is quite solid."

Jiang Liu thought about it for a while and came to this conclusion: it wasn't that he couldn't rebel, but that the opponent was too strong and the success rate was not high.

Chapter 26 Mary Sue and the Overbearing Protagonist 6

"Are you stupid? It's about developing productivity, not about shouting slogans and rebelling. The temple records the previous civilization."

"We'll just develop our productive forces and push forward. You really intend to fight them with cold weapons? Who knows how many years that would take and how many people would die."

If it were truly a decisive battle using cold weapons, Tang Yu would not support a rebellion; it would be better to kill the emperor so that the world would not be too chaotic.

"The key question is whether the people will support us? Do you want to develop gunpowder or something like that?"

"Developing gunpowder is just a means. If you really want to rebel, don't worry about whether the powerful and wealthy class in Xia State will support you. They absolutely will not support you."

We need the support of the people of the world. Who are these people? They are the people who work hard to grow grain on the yellow earth. More than 50 percent of the grain they grow each year must be handed over to the imperial court.

People's families are starving all year round, and there are babies starving to death everywhere.

Jiang Liu, if you go to the countryside and see the state of the world, you will find abandoned babies everywhere by the roadside because no one can afford to raise them.

A poll tax was levied on each newborn child, amounting to tens of coins annually, so people often had no choice but to abandon their babies.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's expression became complicated.

“Yu Yu, I think I’m very naive. I don’t understand this world at all. Take me to see the real world.”

Jiang Liu's inherent softness prevented him from immediately becoming a ruthless and decisive person.

He needs to be firm in his resolve and know whether his decision is right or wrong.

Tang Yu took Jiang Liu to the fields to see the farmers who had no clothes to wear, who were emaciated from hunger but were still working.

Afterwards, Tang Yu took Jiang Liu to see the residences of the tax-evading farmers.

It was a very low thatched hut.

"Do people live here too? Such a small thatched hut."

Tang Yu led Jiang Liu directly to the thatched hut and knocked on the door. Then, the person inside crawled out from the cave below.
